If unsure where to go for help, check
the Yellow Pages under "mental
health," "health," "social services," "suicide
prevention," "crisis intervention services," "hotlines," "hospitals," or "physicians" for
phone numbers and addresses. In times of crisis, the
emergency room doctor at a hospital may be able to provide
temporary
help for an emotional problem, and will be able to tell
you where and how to get further help.
Listed below are the types of people and places that
will make a referral to, or provide, diagnostic and treatment
services.
Family doctors
Mental health specialists, such as psychiatrists,
psychologists, social workers, or mental health counselors
Health maintenance organizations
Community mental
health centers
Hospital psychiatry departments and
outpatient clinics
